See? Not so bad, isn't it? (Not that it will be the official logo or anything, but for example's sake)

I know myself and several others have been involved in the rebrand threads for a while. One thing that a few of us bought up was how a brand (unis, colors, etc.) can help make a nickname. Admittedly, when I first heard Pelicans I was like "LOL WTH NOOOOO." But when I saw some nice concepts for it (BigDub plus maybe a couple others like above), it grew on me after being able to see it nicely done. Wasn't my favorite, but it's cool. I dig it. Unique name. Non-inanimate object or fictional figure.

And if Gayle's color thing is true, yeah it sounds like a weird combo, but if schemed similarly to the above, it will go hard. So personally, I'm hoping for a fire logo, color scheme, and jerseys to really bring the name together.

Yeah true depending how it looks, then it can make the name less weakeri will miss the hornets tho

Lol. There is so much wrong in this that I considered not even commenting....but I couldn't help myself.

Navy, red, and gold aren't the colors of the Louisiana state flag. And Tom Benson never owned the Pelicans minor league baseball team.

I misspoke about Benson previously owning the team because that's someone told me but he does own the naming rights which was my point. And there are four colors in the Louisiana state flag. Blue, red, gold, and white.

A focus group or something like that is a far better way to judge reaction than a poll or by leaking names.

For those hoping that's what this is, it seems like a reach given other ways to judge reaction.

But with the advent of twitter and other social media they essentially have the world as there focus group with in seconds via one leak so I wouldn't put it past them and it did trend most of the evening.
